    Maple cream latte  Sugar free vanilla latte
    Milko M.

    Stopped by Federal Coffee and tried the Maple Cream Latte and the Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte. The coffees were okay overall. The Maple Cream Latte was fine, but the maple flavor wasn't very strong, and the cream on top was a bit light. The Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte tasted like it was made with a standard grocery-store sugar-free creamer, which wasn't great. Overall, it was just alright--probably won't be coming back.

    I was happy to finally check out federal coffee after years of wanting to check them out. I went to an event nearby and I just had to make my way here. There is street parking so if you get lucky to find one, then you scored. The coffee shop is located on the corner, you sure can't miss it. When I'm not getting an iced latte, I get a hot latte with whole milk and no sweetener. But I'm a sucker for latte art so I will always make sure to take a picture. The coffee tasted amazing and the staff was really friendly

    I stopped by here after the gym wanting to support a non-chain coffee place. Really cute corner where you order in one window and pick up in another. I had an espresso and a veggie burrito. The service was super friendly! The espresso was good and served in a small paper cup which I liked. The burrito was all right. They also had a bunch of yummy looking and creative flavor pastries that I will target next time. Love the sidewalk tables and community of mellow people and dogs who frequent this sweet place. A good way to start your day!

    My girlfriend and I stopped by Federal Coffee early on a Sunday morning. The coffee was decent, and the shop itself has a nice vibe. It's a cool little corner spot with some outdoor seating and a neat mural. You order at the walk up window. I didn't have any issues with finding street parking. I found a spot pretty close without any trouble. The service wasn't there though. They were finishing up an order for the customer ahead of us, so it didn't seem very busy. Still, the baristas seemed more focused on their own conversation than on being welcoming. It came across like they were rushing through our order just to get back to talking with each other. After we ordered, no other customers showed up until we were about to leave. It's a one and done spot for me but still a cool place to check out though, especially if you like all pink everything.

    Needed a good coffee and quick bite to eat before work. Fast and friendly service this Vegan Jalenpeno Za'tar Croissant has to be one of my all time favorite things I have gotten at any coffee shop. It's delicious! I would go back just for that. My iced latte was also great! Cute little outdoor area if you are grabbing something to go.

    Cute corner coffee window! I'll stop here occasionally for their famous matcha with pink milk, which is just as gorgeous as it seems on Instagram. The matcha is well-made and strong. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait for the drinks, but it's always worth it. And while they're well-known for their coffee and matcha, don't forget to get some of their amazing pastries! Parking is a bit of a challenge here and just a heads up that there isn't any indoor seating; you'll have to sit outside if you want to hang around.

    Latte with cream top (banana)
    Olivia P.

    Cute corner coffee shop with a few tables outside. Overall it was okay. I got a latte with the banana cream top. Interesting cream top concept. Coffee was okay. On the pricier side.

    Meeso C.

    She put vanilla syrup then ice then oat milk then the espresso then 4 tablespoons of cream too that costs $2 !!!! First if you get a latte with cream top it's meant to be sipped on. But since she didn't mix the syrup and it's all at the bottom I wasn't getting the full experience of having a cream top latte. They charged $10 for 1 latte to make it incorrectly and only give like 4 tablespoons of cream top! Expensive and not trained well on how to make a proper latte. Poor experience. And the latte was mid.

    Ordered a vanilla latte and the coffee was great! Cute little spot and quick service. Only outdoor seating here and parking is a little tough but I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area!

    Nicole B.

    I'd say the coffee here is pretty mid, and unfortunately, my experience wasn't great. I stopped by on a gloomy Sunday and was met with less-than-friendly service from the baristas. To top it off, they didn't have coffee sleeves and told me they were out--huh? This is a coffee shop, right? How does that happen? I feel like I was catfished because I was expecting my drink to look as good as the drinks on their Yelp page, but that is not what I received. Overall, not impressed. The drinks look good but the excitement stops there.

    Matcha latte
    Kelsey P.

    New favorite matcha spot! They use some of the highest quality matcha I've seen for a coffee shop on the west side (Ippodo Ikuyo). I always grab an iced matcha latte with oat milk and they never miss! No parking lot, but pretty easy to find street parking on Pico or in the nearby neighborhood.

    Small Iced Vanilla coffee
    Patricia H.

    Been wanting to come and check this place out for a while and it's worth the drive. It's a cute little place with outdoor seating only, which is great. Parking is a mission but if you're planning a quick pick-up then you should be good . Service is quick to order which is always a plus but overall it's a nice little spot for chill and enjoy a good breeze or have fun with the photo ops.

    Store Sign

    Woman working register very sarcastic and rude for no reason. Rolling eyes and being condescending. Kind of ironic since this place has "F- Ice" signage up on the windows. That is cool and hip, but maybe train your employees to treat everyone equally? Food looks old so we chose not to get any. Ambiance was confusing. The building is painted bright colors, but everything from the floors, to the wall, counters, tables, and neon signage is dirty and covered in dust and dirt. Maybe the owner takes the hands off approach. Or maybe the owner just needs to hire employees that come to work and not gossip and belittle customers. Coffee was ok. They got my order wrong twice so I gave up and just left.

    What does the pink milk taste like?

    I was just told that the pink is a coloring with no flavor... it makes their signature color but doesn't alter the taste of the coffee... which is very good :)

Once ordered, you're allowed to sit at the Equinox lounge and they'd bring your order to your table. The menu offered probably not as plentiful as the one in WeHo, but rich enough selections to pick from including many fun smoothies! We went for their Breakfast Burrito with avocado add-ons and loved how perfectly the eggs were cooked and well-complemented by the melted cheese. Instead of regular hash-brown, they used more rosti-alike one which gave extra twist of crispy texture within the burrito. The sausages were my fave being flavorful and served in big satisfying chunks! If you're into pastries like me, definitely no skip on their Pain Suisse. Like seriously just looking at the pic almost made me drooled again, perfect lamination with delightful buttery pastry and rich stuffing. Would certainly order it again and again!

I'm unsure if you need a gym membership to access, but since I was attending a pop up, all they had to do was scan my ID. You have to pay for parking if you use the garage, but the front desk validates parking

The environment is cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and there is only street parking.

    This is one of my favorite Boba tea shops in Los Angeles. One small snafu on the most recent visit…read more- I ordered online and waited in the shop. They made the drinks but kept them behind the counter without calling the order aloud... finally went to check and found them there - so approach and ask for your drinks. Ordered the Black Sugar Assam - flavor was smooth, it was surprisingly sweet but not overly so (this drink has no sugar level to adjust). Boba were cooked just right and had great chew. I ordered it with less ice as my usual. Also ordered for a friend and didn't realize her drink came without boba so be sure to double check the menu as you order so you get toppings (or not) as you wish. FYI - they have a rewards program, join earn points, and get a birthday drink (discount) too! There's a small seating area inside, quiet music playing, and people working/studying (with a sign to use your indoor voice). Vibe is quiet and chill.

It was clean inside when I went by at 8 PM, not super busy, decent amount of seating/tables. There are a bunch of board games as well so seem like a nice place to drink boba and hang out.

Boba has pretty good texture -- not super mushy/overly soft, decent qq.
